2000 AD #578

Judge Dredd dominates this June 1988 prog, rendered by Ian Gibson in full armored swagger — helmet gleaming, badge prominent, one gauntleted fist clutching what appears to be a tattered black garment as rubble and a dramatic red backdrop surround him. The cover's cheeky headline — "Who Dares Wear the Full Mental Jacket?" — sets a tone that's equal parts menace and dark humor, perfectly capturing 2000 AD's irreverent edge. Inside, Pete Milligan and artist Ewins continue "The Krool Heart" in its third chapter, making this a solid mid-arc entry for fans following the weekly.
